# 071 - WAR - BBC 2 Newsnight and newspaper circulation figures.

Isn't it funny how at the end of Newsnight they invariably finish with a quick look at the front pages of the papers.

9 times out of 10 they show the Guardian and Independent and occassionally the Daily Mail.

Well I thought you might like to know the circulation figures of the main papers which I have rounded up or down for clarity.

Sun - 3,000,000
Daily Mail - 2,000,000
Mirror - 1,200,000
Telegraph - 700,000
Express - 670,000
Times - 500,000
Fin/Times - 400,000
Guardian - 300,000
Independent - 180,000

Now don't forget the above figures for the Guardian and Independent include the mass distribution figures that they send to hotel chains etc!

So why does the dear old bias BBC nearly always include the Guardian?

BECAUSE ALL THE BBC LUVIES READ IT OF COURSE!
